On the need for an individualistic educational psychology emphasizing on the central role of the learnerEducation and psychology are related in more than just one way and the psychology of education could be related to educational principles in psychology or how education as a discipline is taught within psychology as a subject and how these two disciplines merge. This is primarily the focus of educational psychology which studies how human learning occurs, what ways of teaching are most effective, what different methods should be used to teach gifted or disabled children and how principles of psychology could help in the study of schools as social systems.Psychological education would be completely focused on learning methods as structured or imparted according to psychological and individual needs of the students. Education would differ according to culture, values, attitudes, social systems, mindset and all these factors are important in the study of education in psychology.Educational psychology is the application of psychological objectives within educational systems and psychological education as I distinguish here is application of educational objectives in psychological processes. The first focus of using psychology in education is more general and the second approach of using education in psychology is more individualistic. However as far as present study of educational approach to psychology is concerned, there is no difference between individualistic educational psychology and general educational psychology and all interrelationships between psychology and education are considered within the broad discipline of educational psychology.However a distinction between the more general educational psychology and more specific psychological or individualistic education could help in understanding the nuances of individualistic study and give a subjective dimension to the study of psychology in education. This could also help in making learning systems more student based and according to the needs of culture, society, individual or personal factors. This sort of study with a focus on personal/psychological aspects of learning is not just about social objectives and objectives within educational systems but also about personal goals and objectives and the psychological processes involved in learning. There has to be a clearer demarcation between education in psychology as a general study and individualistic education in psychology as a more specific and subjective discipline.As of now educational psychology encompasses a wide range of issues and topics including the use of technology and its relation to psychology, learning techniques and instructional design. It also considers the social, cognitive, behavioural dimensions of learning but it would be necessary to make education more personal and individualistic through a special branch with a psychological focus on education so that individual needs are considered. There could be two ways in which this branch of knowledge could evolve – either by strengthening psychological education or individualistic approach to the psychology of education or by having two distinct branches of general educational psychology and individualistic educational psychology.As in client centered approach to psychology, a psychology of education should also include further research that would highlight the need for individualistic dimensions in learning. Learning psychology is the use of psychological theories for example that of Jean Piaget and Kohler in the study of learning techniques, especially among children. I have already discussed Piaget but briefly Piaget’s theory higlights different stages of learning in children and Kohler suggested that learning occurs by sudden comprehension or understanding, however I will not go further into learning theories here. Whereas the focus of educational psychology is on learning techniques per se and the role of the learner is considered only secondary, a branch of individualistic psychology in education could help in emphasizing the role of the learner considering not just their disabilities or giftedness but also their personality patterns. This focus on personality patterns brings out the central role of understanding psychology in educational systems.Educational psychology studies both the personal approaches to education as in giftedness, disability, learning theories applied to children and adults, and the more general objective approaches to learning as the role of schools as social or cultural systems.The psychology of education could include the following branches:General Educational Psychology 1. Learning Systems – As studied from individualistic learning perspectives and generalized learning perspectives, a discussion of the different theories, practices and systems or techniques of learning is an integral part of educational psychology and especially central to general educational psychology.2. Social Systems – The use of education in social, cultural and economic systems could be considered within the psychological context and this relates to the role of education in society.Individualistic Educational Psychology 1. Learning Systems – Learning techniques and systems or methods will have to be in accordance with the needs of the children or adult participants and according to skills of the teachers. Needs vary according to personal traits and abilities and individual needs will have to be considered during the learning process.2. Social Systems – Individual learning psychology will have to be studied according to specific social and cultural backgrounds of the learners and thus a more subjective study of learning approaches and centralized role of the individual in the learning process considering their social, cultural or intellectual background will have to be considered.

Thar’s gold in them thar hills,” was proclaimed around the world in 1849, when gold was discovered in the hills of northern California.More than 100,000 people descended upon California to find their own wealth in the hills and the streams of California. Fast-forward 150 years, and people are saying the same thing about the Internet today.”Thar is gold in them thar Web pages,” for the person who doesn’t get their clock cleaned by the snake oil salesmen of the Internet. By hiring a qualified online marketing consultant or successfully completing a reputable Internet marketing training course, you can succeed online.Early Victors in the Online Business Success Story In 1994, Stanford students Jerry Yang and David Filo created the Yahoo Web directory. One year later, they co-founded Yahoo, Inc. In 1998, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin created and launched the Google search engine, the largest and most popular search company on the Internet today. In 2005, three former PayPal employees joined forces to create YouTube. The three founders of YouTube were Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. Only 21 months after the launch of YouTube, Google purchased the website for $1.65 billion in Google stock.One Does Not Have to be “On Leave from the Stanford Ph.D. Program” It’s amazing when you look at the biographies of the Who’s Who in Internet business startup success. Most everyone on the list has as part of his or her biography, “currently on a leave of absence from Stanford’s… Ph.D. program.”This reference is actually an inside joke, pointing to the fact that nearly all of these people dropped out of college to start their Internet businesses. The founders of Yahoo, Google and Apple were all college dropouts. The founders of YouTube were simply paid staff of PayPal before striking out on their own with YouTube.The point is that if college dropouts can make it online, then we can too, if we choose to learn from those who came before us. But even if these people didn’t have a college degree, do you believe they created these tremendous accomplishments without education?They became educated and performed marketing research to help insure their success. They surrounded themselves with people who had knowledge in areas where they weren’t as strong needed some help.Creating Online Business Marketing Success Today There are many companies online offering business-building services to others. Some are good, some are bad, and others may be good, but they may not be the right service providers for your company. Take for example the Google AdWords pay-per-click advertising system. Millionaires have been made through the Google AdWords system.Just to put this into perspective, through June of 2007, eBay had been spending $25 million every quarter with Google AdWords. When major businesses spend $100 million per year in advertising with one advertiser, you can believe that the company is making that amount back and much more from the advertising provider.For Every Online Marketing Success, There Are Dozens of Failures Not all of us will create the next Yahoo, Google, eBay or Amazon. But good money can be made online if you don’t fall into the traps where many before you have fallen. AdWords is a powerful advertising model. It can make millionaires and it does every year. But the thing is that AdWords may not be the right advertising model for you to follow now and it may not be right for you ever.If you understand that, you’re less likely to fall into the poor house using any online advertising method. Unfortunately, too many people have mortgaged their homes and driven themselves into bankruptcy using online marketing companies to promote their online businesses.Deep Pockets Are Not the Solution, But Wise Internet Marketing Choices Are First and foremost, a business must design itself to make a profit on its’ activities.I know people who have developed businesses online that did well in the sales column, but the business owner failed in his quest to turn those sales into a profit. Imagine being the website owner who generated his first $120,000 year and then nearly went under because his prices were too low for the kind of service being offered.After having been a successful sole proprietor online for five years, my friend said that his first six-figure year nearly put him out of business. He is just now beginning to recover financially from his mistakes, 18 months later. We Can’t Know Everything about Running Our Online Businesses, Especially in Today’s Complicated World
